Chapter 3230
Treating his wounds while ordering him to continue forward, Little Python dragged its injured body along.
It continued flying forward, but this time it was much more low-key, restraining its aura.
It didn't even dare to make a loud noise. It wasn't stupid; it kept ruminating on what Lin Moyu had said.
Reflecting on its previous behavior, it realized that was indeed the case; it had always been timid.
The reason it had become so inflated was entirely due to the effects of its evolution; the power was too immense for it to control.
This, in turn, affected its Dao Heart. Lin Moyu had used his own method to harmonize and unify its power.
It allowed it to restore its Dao Heart. The recent experience seemed dangerous, but in reality, with Lin Moyu watching from the side,
it would never have been in any actual danger. Once Little Python understood this, not only did it not blame Lin Moyu,
but it actually felt a trace of gratitude toward him. It already understood that Lin Moyu was doing this for its own good.
Before long, another group charged out from the mist. Lin Moyu said calmly, "Do you want to try again?"
Little Python hurriedly shook its large head. "No, no, I won't try anymore. Master, you go ahead. Little Python is just a mount, not a fighter."
Lin Moyu chuckled. "Then let's go; we'll head through the mist."
Little Python was very obedient and immediately followed instructions. The World-Burning Fire roared to life, burning those guys who rushed over into ashes.
They charged into the mist, with Lin Moyu using the World-Burning Fire to clear the path and dispel the fog.
Beneath the mist, there was indeed a great river, its thick yellow water surging and churning within.
The river emitted a massive amount of power. Could this be the Yellow Springs? Lin Moyu muttered to himself.
He had heard legends of the Yellow Springs from the Human Emperor, who had once entered the Beast Abyss. The Human Emperor had some understanding of the Beast Abyss and had said that beneath it lay the Yellow Springs, and its deepest point could reach the core of the Beast Abyss.
At the time, the Human Emperor hadn't clearly described what the Yellow Springs looked like; the Yellow Springs was not a spring, but a great river.
The Yellow Springs suddenly erupted, and a large number of creatures resembling Soul-Devouring Spirits rushed out. The guys who had attacked them earlier came from the Yellow Springs. Lin Moyu waved his hand, and the World-Burning Fire instantly burned them to ashes.
The World-Burning Fire followed the flow into the Yellow Springs, instantly turning its surface into a sea of fire. The World-Burning Fire could refine worlds, refine souls, and burn various types of power. The Yellow Springs contained a peculiar power of the Great Dao, which the World-Burning Fire could also burn. It continued to spread into the distance, as if intending to dry up the Yellow Springs.
The Yellow Springs seemed to be stimulated by something, causing massive waves to rise. From within the waves, a Giant Whale burst out. Its massive body pressed down from the air, carrying a colossal force.
It forcefully extinguished the World-Burning Fire. The Giant Whale landed back in the Yellow Springs, half of its head exposed above the water surface. Staring fixedly at Lin Moyu, it said, "Eternal Existence, you should not be here."
The Giant Whale's voice boomed like thunder, and wherever the sound reached, the Yellow Springs boiled. The mist dispersed. Its voice carried a terrifying soul impact, causing Little Python to let out a low cry. It was clearly suffering; this guy's strength was no weaker than any Emperor-level powerhouse.
Beneath the Beast Abyss, there were indeed powerful existences, and this whale was likely just one of them. Lin Moyu was completely fearless and smiled calmly. "Why should I not be here?"
Chapter 4211: The Ancient Great Dao within the Yellow Springs
The Giant Whale said in a low voice, "This is the Beast Abyss, the place where living beings are buried and extinguished. You are Eternal and can attain Eternal life; Eternal life and burial/extinction are inherently in conflict. Moreover, you are a cultivator from the Real World, while this place belongs to the Void Realm, so you should not be here."
Lin Moyu shook his head. "I am not satisfied with that explanation. The Void and the Real have always coexisted, not opposed each other. The same applies to life and death. If I insist on going down, what will you do?"
The Giant Whale said, "If you insist on seeking death, I will not stop you." The Giant Whale sank into the Yellow Springs and disappeared. The turbulent Yellow Springs gradually calmed down, and no more troops rushed out to threaten Lin Moyu.
These guys, similar to Soul-Devouring Spirits, could develop Immunity to Great Dao attacks, but they were not naturally immune like Soul-Devouring Spirits. They needed a certain amount of time to adapt, but they could not develop Immunity to the World-Burning Fire, so no matter how many came, it was useless. This was very similar to Soul-Devouring Spirits; Soul-Devouring Spirits also could not develop Immunity to the World-Burning Fire. Lin Moyu had used the World-Burning Fire to refine countless Soul-Devouring Spirits. Only a Soul-Devouring Spirit King could resist slightly, but it still couldn't develop Immunity. Watching the Yellow Springs gradually return to calm, Lin Moyu was lost in thought for a long time. Little Python asked curiously, "Master, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "I am wondering where these things come from. They seem like Soul-Devouring Spirits, yet they are different from them. They usually reside beneath the Yellow Springs. So, what is beneath the Yellow Springs? And that Giant Whale from just now, don't you think it's a bit strange?" Little Python tilted its head. "What's strange about it? I don't see it."
Lin Moyu said, "That guy was half-void and half-real; it was neither a Void Beast nor a living creature. Furthermore, I felt like it shouldn't exist in this spacetime." After entering the Beast Abyss, Lin Moyu discovered his first doubt. He faintly sensed that some secret seemed to be hidden within the Beast Abyss. What the Giant Whale had just said—entering the depths of the Yellow Springs was seeking death, even for an Eternal Existence—it had said "death," not "silence/hibernation." Yet, within the Domain, it was very difficult for an Eternal Existence to die. The Beast Abyss was naturally within the Domain as well, so unless there was something extraordinary in the depths of the Yellow Springs, it would be impossible for an Eternal Existence to perish.
Lin Moyu felt a deep curiosity. "Let's go down." Little Python let out an "oh" and, without the slightest objection, immediately flew down toward the Yellow Springs. After what had just happened, Little Python no longer had an inflated ego and was a hundred times more loyal to Lin Moyu; whatever Lin Moyu said, it did.
Diving into the Yellow Springs, the water of the Yellow Springs parted automatically. The Yellow Springs looked like water but was not water. Flowing within it was the power of the Great Dao, with countless powers of the Great Dao mixed together—some essence, some dross—without distinction. This point was different from the rules within the Domain. At the moment of entering the Yellow Springs, Lin Moyu discovered that the Domain rules were not apparent; the threads of rules that shrouded the entire Domain could not enter the Yellow Springs.
This also meant that the Yellow Springs was a place that the Domain rules couldn't control. The fact that there was a place within the Domain that the Domain rules couldn't reach was the biggest issue. After discovering this, a faint smile appeared on Lin Moyu's lips. Without Domain rules, it meant he wouldn't be expelled. He could use the Gather Power technique here without restraint and could step into transcendence without worrying about being expelled by the Domain rules. His combat power could be raised to the extreme; he would completely surpass the Eternal, and combined with his Rebirth ability, he didn't believe he would die like this. "Master, the surroundings are narrowing."
Little Python suddenly spoke up. Lin Moyu also felt the change in the terrain; as they went deeper into the Yellow Springs, the left and right sides were rapidly narrowing. It wasn't just the left and right sides; even the front and back were changing. Lin Moyu had Little Python stop and simultaneously dispatched Undead Servants to explore the surroundings. Soon, the specific terrain within the Yellow Springs formed in his mind.
Lin Moyu said calmly, "It really is a spring." Previously, he had thought the Yellow Springs was not a spring and that it should be a river. Now it seemed he had really misunderstood the Yellow Springs; the Yellow Springs was indeed a spring. The closer to the bottom, the narrower it was; the higher up, the larger the coverage area, forming a river. In fact, the area at the bottom was not large. After clarifying the shape of the Yellow Springs, Lin Moyu had Little Python continue to dive, heading straight for the deepest part of the Yellow Springs.
The Undead Servants had already scouted the path, and there was no danger. The power of the Great Dao flowing within the Yellow Springs would not cause any danger to outsiders, but the Giant Whale's words could not be ignored. Lin Moyu remained vigilant, not daring to relax in the slightest. After diving an unknown distance, Little Python finally arrived at the spring eye. This was also the exit of the Yellow Springs. Lin Moyu called for a stop again; he stopped near the exit of the Yellow Springs. Feeling the power of the Great Dao here, he had already discovered just moments ago that the power of the Great Dao in the Yellow Springs exuded an ancient aura.
And the deeper one went, the more ancient it became. This kind of antiquity meant that the Yellow Springs had existed for countless years, or perhaps even longer. Lin Moyu had a feeling that this antiquity seemed to exceed the Domain itself. This feeling was very strange. He had no evidence, just a sensation of the ancient power of the Great Dao. The legendary Yellow Springs, and the highly probable but yet-to-appear dangers, caused Lin Moyu to feel a trace of hesitation. Should he go down? The eye of the Yellow Springs was right beside him. If he didn't go down, what was the point of diving all this way? But if he went down, it was truly possible to be doomed forever.
What was beneath the eye of the Yellow Springs was a mystery. "Maybe I shouldn't go." As soon as this thought appeared, it began to magnify rapidly. A sense of alarm suddenly arose in Lin Moyu's heart, and a powerful aura erupted from his body, startling Little Python. Little Python stared blankly at Lin Moyu, not knowing what had happened, as there was clearly nothing around. A sharp light flashed in Lin Moyu's eyes. "To think it could shake my Dao Heart." With a thought, he erased all the thoughts that shouldn't be there.
He cleared his mind. Just now, unknowingly, his Dao Heart had been shaken by an invisible force, and this shaking was something even he hadn't noticed. It was because his Dao Heart had been shaken that he had developed the thought that he shouldn't go down. The ancient power of the Great Dao flowing here possessed a magical power he was unaware of. Fortunately, he became alert and reaffirmed his Dao Heart. Having already come here, how could he not go?
It was just that the process of shaking his Dao Heart earlier gave Lin Moyu a feeling of familiarity, somewhat similar to when he encountered the Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor outside the Domain. Lin Moyu couldn't help but guess: could there also be a Soul-Devouring Spirit Emperor beneath the eye of the Yellow Springs? This place was too mysterious; nothing that happened would be surprising. After completely stabilizing his Dao Heart, Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "Go in." Little Python didn't say anything and charged directly into the spring eye.
Little Python's mind was simple; it just acted according to Lin Moyu's words and, as a result, was not affected. Accompanied by the intense power of the Great Dao, Little Python rushed out of the spring eye and entered another dimension. This place was filled everywhere with the ancient power of the Great Dao. Immense pressure attacked from all sides, and Little Python was unable to remain in the air. Under the massive pressure, it fell downward. Lin Moyu also felt the power of the Great Dao; this power of the Great Dao seemed not to allow anyone to fly here. But Lin Moyu ignored it completely. "Gather Power!" With a thought,
he broke through directly, surpassing the Eternal and entering half-step transcendence. The surrounding space twisted, and the incoming power of the Great Dao shattered. Little Python's pressure vanished instantly, and it stabilized in mid-air. Lin Moyu did not feel the laws of heaven and earth, nor did any force come to expel him. This meant that he could maintain this state of half-step transcendence here at all times. As for the consumed soul power, with the World Tree supporting him from behind, Lin Moyu didn't need to worry about his soul power being exhausted at all. So that was it!
